Tichina Arnold Speaks On Gay Rumors

Actress Tichina Arnold has opened up about the gay rumors that has been following her throughout her career. In an interview with Uptown Magazine, the actress said, “You’re not a celebrity until…you’ve had a gay rumor. I’ve been around gays, transgenders and transsexuals. I accept people for whom and what they are. Everybody says you’re guilty by association. What do I have to be guilty about? I know lesbians. My friends are my friends and I don’t give a damn what people think.”

On gay marriage, she said, “Marriage equality…is not just about love. It’s about property, belongings, what you built together, what you share together and the things people don’t realize that are caught in the balance of two people not being able to have this union. The institution of marriage was built for the purposes of property, not love.”
